Terrariums on Etsy

I like the idea of a terrarium – but am too cheap to buy one and too lazy to make one (let alone care for one, regardless of how “easy” they are). Instead I’ve been admiring some of the best, in my opinion, available on Etsy.

By the way, the Romgi just referred to terrariums as “fancy Chia Pets.”

You may have noticed that I don’t care much for the embellished terrariums – which often include miniature gnomes, deer, toadstools, etc. This is a good example of one I dislike.

(You may have also noticed that the square terrarium costs $300. That’s why it appeared in this post instead of its own Today’s Gift post. I’m so considerate!)

The Bwun got ahold of the computer a little earlier this evening. After a series of clicks and keyboard noises I thought it best to see what damage he had wreaked. It turns out he actually just left me a message:

=[-p=[-p=[-p=[-p=[-p=[-p=0[o9pjkl.;

As far as I can tell, he types exactly the way he talks.


Macarons?

I feel like I’m completely missing out on this macaron craze. Should I jump in?

Here’s what I want to know:

1. What do macarons taste like? Are they really that great?

2. Are they hard to make?

3. Is it worth making them just so I can blog about it?

4. Is the craze dying down, and I ought to skip this one?

5. If you made them, what filling would you use? I’m thinking Nutella.
